This week I’m planting my potatoes in a makeshift cage made of a bit of wire fencing. It’s nothing fancy but with the addition of some straw and a soil it will make a fine potato tower. Last year I planted potatoes in a laundry basket and that turned out pretty well.
I fear that it is too late to start growing potatoes in Texas. It was 80 degrees yesterday and the warm season crops are the only thing available in the local nurseries. We shall see.
Grow a Good Life has an extensive article you should really check out – 6 Potato Planting Methods. It’s worth it just for the growing tips and ideas.
Preparedness Mama and its collaborators have created a one-stop shop of critical resources for families looking to prepare for disaster. We know firsthand that getting ready for the worst with a big family poses some particular challenges.
We’ve learned from the past so that you don’t have to make the same mistakes again. Fear of the unknown is one of the scariest things in life, but we hope that Preparedness Mama’s treasure trove of practical advice will make that unknown less daunting and ultimately help take the scared out of being prepared for every single one of our readers.
Thank you for hosting. Have a wonderful weekend 🙂
Thank you for hosting and featuring my potato post. I am looking forward to seeing how your potato tower does. I can’t wait to dig in the soil. We are still waiting for the snow to melt and the ground to thaw.
Thank you for sharing all of the wonderful ideas!
Have an awesome weekend 🙂
